Yero,

I certainly understand your position and disagreements with Dr. Jobe and
anybody... Dr. Jobe asked for air time to address the issue thus the reason
he was on Gainako. You know where I stand and what I stand for and how I
operate both as an individual and in groups. I don't take my personal
credibility lightly. While you address Dr. Jobes rants you failed to
address the fact that I was personally mentioned as being paid for a
service I render that you know I do for free and had consulted with you
prior to taking it up as a challenge..

My issue is not about other people or networks.. I could care less about
how others are perceived but what is unethical is making false accusations
without evidence. Since you investigated the story about the $300,000 and
you hit a dead end, why didn't you come out and publish it.. ? It is
because I know you care about the facts and the consequences such
publications may have on Gainako and other people. Even though you may have
found some other "damaging information" you still took the responsibility
to keep it out of the public eye for reasons best known to you.. That is
how we operate ... we handle information with responsibility knowing the
consequences.. You have made my case....

Remember when others alleged that they never instructed you to initiate a
fundraising for them? What has that done to you personally, it discourages
you from stepping up and helping others which you love to do... That is
exactly my contention.. receiving information is one thing, how we handle
that information is another thing... This is where we face challenges in
our struggle and line of work... Do you divulge any information that comes
your way as a publishes, do you have a responsibility to investigate and
give people credible information? I bet you know the answer.... This is my
contention and I certainly respect your opinion of others... Dr. Jobe's
opinion was his and his alone... If you listen to my conversation with him
you will notice time and again I try to divert the conversation away from
the personality stuff because that's how I operate... If I have beef with
Pa Nderry I will call him and discuss with him and so is anybody else... I
don't waste my time on sound bites and personality stuff... We have more
important stuff to focus on...

Demba
